SECTION 2 – HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the
crown then push the crown in as far as it will go against the case to
the "IN" position. The second hand should now advance at one
second intervals.
SECTION 3 – HOW TO SET THE TIME
If your watch has a day of the week and date, first set the day of
the week (see Section 4). If your watch has a date only, set the
date first (see Section 5).
Timex watches either have a two-position or three-position setting
crown as illustrated below.
To set the time, pull the crown to the "OUT" position of your watch.
Slowly rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired
time. Push the crown to the "IN" position to restart the watch.
SECTION 4 – HOW TO SET THE DAY OF THE WEEK
There are two types of Day/Date watches. The day is set either in
the "MIDDLE" crown position or in the "OUT" position. To
determine which version you have, pull the crown to the "MIDDLE"
position and slowly rotate the crown counterclockwise.

SECTION 1 – WATER-RESISTANCE
If your watch is water-resistant, it will be indicated ( ) on the
watch face or on the caseback.
• 30 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60
p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 98 feet or 30 meters below sea level).

p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below sea level).
• 100 Meter Water-Resistant watch withstands water pressure to
160 p.s.i.a. (equals immersion to 328 feet or 100 meters below
sea level).
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT
PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE CROWN UNDER
WATER UNLESS YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER
WATER-RESISTANT.
NOTES:
1. The watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal, crown and
case remain intact.
2. Even though the watch may be water-resistant to a significant
depth (100 or 200 meters), it is not a diver watch and should not
be used for diving.
3. CROWN MUST BE SCREWED INTO THE CASE PRO-
TRUSION TO ASSURE WATER-RESISTANCE.
4. Timex strongly recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water
after exposure to salt water.

SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE B
Pull the crown to the "OUT" position and rotate the hands slowly
CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE through 24 hours until
the desired date appears in the window.
Once set, the date will have to be advanced in this manner on five
occasions during the year (the five months that have fewer than
31 days).
SECTION 6 – ELAPSED TIME RING
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer dial with numbers and
indicators, this Elapsed Time Ring may be used to indicate the length
of time remaining for an activity or the starting time of an activity.
TIME REMAINING – set the outer ring so that the triangle is
pointing to the time the activity is to end.
STARTING TIME – set the triangle on the time the activity is to begin.

TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO
A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY

on the caseback.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERY IN FIRE OR

FROM CHILDREN.
SECTION 7 – BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the day does not change when the crown is rotated in the
"MIDDLE" position, pull the crown to the "OUT" position and
proceed to slowly rotate the crown clockwise or counterclockwise
through the necessary number of 24 hour periods to advance to
the desired day. Then follow the instructions in Section 5 for setting
the date.
SETTING THE DATE ON TYPE A
There are two versions on the date setting of a Type A watch. In
both versions, the crown is first put in the "MIDDLE" position.
In one version, the crown is rotated slowly COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE only; in the other version, the crown is rotated slowly
CLOCKWISE. Stop when the desired date appears.

SECTION 8 – BAND ADJUSTMENT
If your watch has a band similar to the
photo, follow these instructions to
adjust the band since the clasp can be
damaged if excessive force is used.
1. Open locking plate as shown using nail file, small screwdriver or
other blunt instrument.
2. Move clasp to desired band length.
3. While holding the locking plate with your finger and thumb, exert
slight pressure and slide the clasp back and forth until you feel the
clasp engage in one of the grooves on the underside of the band.
4. Firmly press the locking plate down until it snaps to closed
position. If it seems to be difficult to push closed, repeat Step 3
to ensure that you have properly positioned the clasp.

LIMITED WARRANTY
The Basic Coverage: This TIMEX Quartz Analog watch (but not any battery, crystal,
band or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of
purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation - not by the dealer
from whom the watch was purchased.
What Timex Will Do: If this watch develops such a defect within the one year period,
it will be repaired (i.e., a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected movement
will be installed) or replaced ( a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be
supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $5.00 check or money order to
cover costs of postage, handling and service, and you provide proof of purchase and
date of purchase.
This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:
1) Timex will not repair defects related to servicing not performed by Timex
Corporation.
2) Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it
has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example:
• moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch;
• damage to the case; or
• visible cracking of the crystal.
3) Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the battery in
your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one year
warranty period has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our
control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.
4) TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
special or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not
apply to you.
Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES.
TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR
FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.
Care of Your Watch:
• Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture if it is non-
water-resistant.
• If the crystal becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage to the
movement.
• When your battery is depleted, have it replaced promptly. The particular type of
battery required is indicated on your caseback. You can get them from your local
Timex retailer.
Service of Your Watch:
If your TIMEX watch should ever need servicing, send it to Timex addressed as
follows: HOTLINE WATCH SERVICE, P.O. Box 2740, Little Rock, AR 72203
Because of possible loss, we recommend insuring your watch, return receipt
requested, when using the mails. If you do not obtain a receipt within a reasonable
time, start a tracer through the originating post office. NEVER INCLUDE A SPECIAL
WATCHBAND OR ANY OTHER ARTICLE OF PERSONAL VALUE IN YOUR SHIPMENT.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE MAY SUBSTITUTE A WATCH OF EQUAL VALUE AND
SIMILAR APPEARANCE FOR YOURS ON BOTH IN-WARRANTY AND OUT-OF-
WARRANTY REPAIRS.
For your convenience in obtaining factory service, participating Timex retailers will be
pleased to provide you with a postage-paid, pre-addressed Watch Repair Mailer.
